Impacts
-
Users will learn what each council bins are used for and what can be put in each bin through gamification
-
-
-
Users will be able to see how much they have made from containers for change and be educated on what it is

Key algorithms
Recycling bin game: Users gets 10 points for correctly identified rubbish, -5 points for identifying worst possible bin option, and -1 point for any other incorrect answer. When users get a streak of 3 and a score of equal to or over 30 users win and a validation is message.
Container exchange: Users will be identified with the amount of money they have made and how many bottles they have exchanged 1. A plus and minus button will be used 2. They act as functions where $0.10 dollars and 1 will be either added or subtracted whether user presses plus or minus 3. The amounts will be displayed on the interface
Reducing water consumption: How having a efficient shower head can help reduce water usage and hence bills. Users will be shown a comparison between their current annual water usage with the theoretical usage using an efficient shower head
User interface
Usability principles
-
App font, font size, and color must be consistent to maximize user engagement (accessibility, effectiveness, learnability)
Interface for each screen must be clear, consistent and simplistic to engage users and increase functionality and purpose o of app (accessibility, effectiveness, learnability)
Recycling bin game must be interactive, engaging and fun to maximize experience and successfully educate all demographics (utility, learnability, effectiveness, accessibility)
Any information added must be understandable to all demographics and age groups so all users can use the app (effectiveness, accessibility, learnability)
All icons must be understandable in terms of which page they lead too and what they represent to ensure users understand context (effectiveness, learnability)
Recycling bin game must be understandable by considering all demographics to increase functionality of the app (effectiveness, learnability)
All buttons should be clearly visible and easily identified as buttons to ensure an equitable experience and clear understanding of functionality for users (accessibility, effectiveness, learnability)
For calculations, steps, signifiers or simply text should be purposeful where users know what to input and what the calculations do (effectiveness, learnability)
